How to Choose a Personalized Compass

Every SFdizayn compass starts as the same solid brass pocket compass: fully functional, 1.96 inches (5 cm) across, with an antique finish, a chain and a side lock. What makes it his is the design on the lid and the words you put inside. Here is how to choose.

Start with the occasion

  • Graduation: a message about the road ahead. See the graduation compass.
  • Baptism, confirmation or First Communion: a cross on the lid and a Bible verse inside. See all Christian gifts.
  • Anniversary: the coordinates of where you met, or a line only the two of you understand. See the anniversary compass.
  • Retirement: a thank-you for the journey so far. See the retirement compass.
  • For a son or grandson: words from a parent or grandparent he can carry for life. See the compass gift for son or grandson.
  • In your own handwriting: write it on paper and we engrave it exactly as you wrote it. See the handwriting compass.

Decide what goes where

You can engrave up to three sides. Most people put a name, initials or a symbol on the front lid, the main message inside the lid, where he reads it every time he opens the compass, and a date on the back. Add the optional leather case and we engrave it too.

Short and personal works best. For inspiration, read our engraved compass quotes and messages or our guide on what to engrave on a compass.

Text, photo or handwriting

Type your text and choose a font for each side, or upload a photo, a child’s drawing or a handwritten note. Photos work best when they are sharp and well lit, with faces clearly visible.
